A few days after our plans for a border station got underway, Sahhi returned from the north, where he’d gone on something of a recruitment run. With him were three falconkin, all considerably bigger than Sahhi himself.

“Hey, welcome back,” I said. “Glad to see you safe, Sahhi. Looks like your trip home was a success.”

I was out in the square hanging out the washing. Sahhi and his companions all came to a rest on the perch and the washing line.

“Uh...yep,” said Sahhi.

I couldn’t help noticing how his head drooped oddly between his shoulders.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

I was worried about him, so I just had to ask. Sahhi’s head stayed drooping low as he explained everything to me. When he’d gotten back to the nest he’d gone straight to the chieftain. Because he’d come back home without having slain a dragon as he was ordered, he spent some time explaining all that had happened of late.

As soon as the chieftain heard, however, he started cheering like he’d lost his marbles, spouting off stuff about an “old promise” and “the pride of the clan.” He was overjoyed that Sahhi had found them a place to earn some food, and he even looked Sahhi in the eyes and told him he’d done a bang up job.

“And uh, all that stuff is all well and good,” said Sahhi. “It’s the stuff afterwards that’s the trouble. I can’t make heads or tails of it, but the chieftain was so excited that...he started talking about getting me married.”

This was strange because the whole reason Sahhi had been driven out of his village in the first place was because he’d failed to find himself a wife. And now he found himself being pushed into marriage before he was even ready for it. Sahhi had always wanted to get married, and everything went even more smoothly than he could have expected. So smoothly, in fact, that before he knew it he was wedded to the three most distinguished hunters in the nest.

I assumed that those three mighty women were the ones watching me from the washing line. Sahhi let out a defeated sigh and went on with his explanation. He told me that in falconkin clans, generally the women were bigger and stronger, and the better hunters. This was why it was common for the most distinguished falconkin in a clan—its heroes—to be women. And now Sahhi was married thrice over to his clan’s most powerful members.

I walked up to Sahhi’s perch and leaned in close to whisper.

“So uh...is it a case of...marrying somebody, or somebodies, that you didn’t want to?” I asked.

Sahhi shook his sad falconkin head.

“No... I mean they’re all strong, they’re great hunters; not to mention stunningly beautiful, and they’re really popular too. Honestly I don’t deserve any one of them...but now I’m married to all three of them. I just don’t know if I can be a good husband, or if I’m a good match... You know what I’m saying?”

I nodded. I could sympathize with his feelings.
